My Nephew calls me Aunt Jenny, but with his southern drawl it sounds like Aunt Ginny. It's cute.

DD calls both sets of Grandparents Grandma and Papa.

 

[Diane]

My oldest nephew (22) just calls me “Di,” but we kind of grew up together. My other 2 nephews and 2 nieces call me “Aunt Diane.” The rest of the family just refer to me as: “Di,” “Di-Di,” or “Auntie Di.” (I think I like “Auntie Di” the best – it kind of makes me sound sort of eccentric, like “Auntie Mame!”

I am Auntie Cindy. My MIL is Granny Mae, and I call her that too. My FIL is Grandpa Steve, but I call him Papasan. My parents are GRandma Geri and Grandpa Al to the kids, and Geri and Al to my DH. When I was a young girl, my great Grandfather was GG.
In my family, even cousins were called Auntie and Uncle if they were a generation older. It took me years to figure out who was who!

My older niece & nephew call me Aunt Denice. they are 27 & 30. My sister's kids, 6 and 3 call me Tante, which I started. I just wanted something different for them to call me and it is a special relationship I have with them. Since I have no kids of my own, my sisters are extra special for me. My sister & I are 13 years apart.

I don't have any nieces, nephews or grandkids yet, but my girls call all the grandparents (they have 2 sets) Grandma and Papa (insert surname here). Both my and DH's sisters are Aunt Esther and Aunt Debbie. DH has one cousin he is really close to, and DDs call her Aunt Kelly, but Kelly's DH is Uncle Squishy Head. I missed where that came from (I think Sponge Bob somehow, but not sure), but Uncle Squishy Head and Aunt Kelly were not married yet (but engaged) when they were christened, so they were pretty happy and honored that DDs bestowed the Aunt/Uncle term on them.

I'm Laurie, but as the kids were little it came out as Aunt Hory.

But I got to tell you this. My mom was short, skinny and looked like Judge Judy. Now, picture Judge Judy with a very short, curly perm. It was the time of the poodle perms.
Anyway, my mom was aunt Helen. UNTIL, we were all at my aunts' house and the kids were watching Tarzan. On Tarzan there were some pygmies. Well guess what, my older cousin started calling my mom Aunt Pygmy. So everyone started calling her Pygmy.
The same cousin was in a car wreck and was hospitalized for a couple days and at one point was calling out for my mom. Did she call for Aunt Helen, no, she was calling for Aunt Pygmy.
No one had any idea who she needed, so over the intercom this confused nurse was asking if there was a Pygmy in the hospital. My mom instantly knew who they were talking about and went to find out what was going on. I think the whole hospital was laughing about that.

Tired yet, wait there's more, sorry Jason.
One of the cousins was too little to say Pygmy, so it came out Piggy. From then on my mom was known as Aunt Piggy. Guess what she ended up collecting. Whenever someone would see a cute, or ugly pig knick knack, they would buy it for my mom. She was buried with her favorite pig. A beanbag, lifesized, baby pig.
